keenkee 4 PCS Cabinet Latch Double Roller Catch Hardware for Cupboard Closet Kitchen Cabinet Door Latches and Catches, Black Nickel

First impressions

A good cabinet latch should disappear into daily use. After installing the keenkee double‑roller catches across a mix of kitchen cabinets, a hall closet, and a small travel trailer, that’s exactly what I got: a clean click on close, a steady hold in use, and no fiddling once aligned. This is a straightforward, parts‑in‑the‑box solution with a finish that blends well in most modern or repainted spaces.

What you get and how it’s made

The kit includes four spring‑loaded double‑roller catches, four matching striker plates, and a full set of screws, plus an alignment template. The latch bodies are stamped steel with a black‑nickel plating; the rollers are black nylon. The black nickel color is subtle—darker than brushed nickel but not as stark as matte black—so it pairs nicely with darker hinges, oil‑rubbed bronze knobs, and charcoal hardware. It also hides fingerprints better than bright chrome.

Build quality is solid for this class. The housings are uniform with clean bends, and the rollers spin freely without wobble. The spring‑loaded swivel head is the highlight: it allows the rollers to “find” the striker even if your door or face frame isn’t dead‑on square. That self‑centering action is what makes these more forgiving than single‑roller or older ball catches. I wouldn’t call the springs heavy‑duty industrial, but they’re confidently medium‑strong—appropriate for most cabinet doors and smaller closet doors.

One note for coastal or damp environments: the components are plated steel, not stainless. In a typical kitchen or RV interior that’s fine; if you’re working in a bathroom with poor ventilation or a boat galley, consider occasional inspection or a stainless alternative.

Installation experience

Installation is refreshingly painless:

• I marked centers using the included template, taped it in place, and pre‑drilled pilot holes (1/16" for the small screws worked well in hardwood).
• I mounted the latch body to the frame first, then loosely installed the striker on the door and closed the door to let the rollers “pull” the striker into alignment before tightening.
• Final tweaks were quick: nudging the striker plate a millimeter at a time sets the closing tension and eliminates any rub.

The screws included are appropriately sized for typical cabinet frames. If you’re working with thin stock (like a 1/4" door insert or lightweight RV paneling), check your depth: you may want shorter screws to avoid poke‑through. I also prefer to set the screws by hand for the last turns to avoid stripping in softwood.

A nice touch: the unit I received carried an Amazon Transparency label. Scanning it confirmed authenticity and linked to a how‑to video. It’s not strictly necessary—the job is simple—but it’s helpful for first‑timers.

Total time per door was around five minutes once I got into a rhythm. Replacing old magnetic catches with these is a straight swap.

Performance and day‑to‑day use

On a daily basis, the keenkee latch gives a positive, tactile close with an audible “click.” It’s not silent (you are rolling against nylon wheels), but it’s satisfying and consistent. Doors don’t bounce back, and there’s no slop when closed.

• Kitchen cabinets: Light to medium doors shut securely and stayed shut even when drawers adjacent were slammed. The double‑roller design distributes contact so painted finishes don’t show a single wear track over time.
• Hall closet: With a taller, slightly out‑of‑square door, the swivel head earned its keep. Even with imperfect alignment, the latch grabbed and released smoothly, no scraping.
• Travel trailer: Over a pair of weekend runs on bumpy roads, lightweight cabinets stayed closed without drama. For a tall pantry door loaded with heavier items, one latch worked but felt borderline; installing a second latch at the bottom made the hold feel “locked in” without increasing effort noticeably.

Tension feels medium‑strong. For most home cabinets and RV doors, it’s a good balance: easy enough for kids to open, strong enough to resist casual swings and minor vibration. If you’re securing overweight doors, especially in high‑vibration situations, plan on either doubling up catches or stepping to a higher‑tension unit.

Finish and aesthetics

The black nickel finish is the reason I chose this set for a repainted kitchen. It disappears against dark cabinetry and doesn’t clash with mixed hardware. On lighter cabinets, it reads as a tasteful shadow line rather than a bright dot of chrome when the door is open. The nylon rollers are black as well, so the whole unit presents as a low‑contrast, tidy bundle.

Because the finish is plated, avoid harsh abrasives during cleaning. A damp cloth is enough; if you’re repainting cabinets later, mask the latch faces to keep edges crisp.

Durability and maintenance

Nylon rollers are the right call here: they’re quiet, won’t mar striker plates, and don’t corrode. After a few weeks of frequent use, I saw no flat spots or stiffness. The springs show consistent force with no sag. If these ever feel less positive over time, it will most likely be due to screws loosening in softwood or frame movement rather than the latch itself. A seasonal check to snug screws is all I’d recommend.

For RVs and cabins, temperature swings can move doors slightly; the swivel head helps absorb that. If doors start to rattle, nudge the striker plate in by a hair to increase preload.

Alternatives and where it fits

Compared with magnetic catches:
- Roller catches hold more firmly against vibration and don’t rely on magnet strength falling off with paint thickness.
- Magnets are quieter and completely smooth in operation but can be too weak for taller doors or travel.

Compared with ball catches:
- Double‑roller catches are easier to align and gentler on painted finishes.
- Ball catches can be adjusted with set screws for higher tension but add complexity and can squeak.

If you need soft‑close behavior, this isn’t it—pairing with soft‑close hinges addresses that. If you need corrosion‑proof hardware for marine use, look for stainless.

Tips for best results

• Use pilot holes. These are small screws; pre‑drilling prevents split frames and stripped heads.
• Let the latch self‑align. Close the door with the striker screws slightly loose; the rollers will center the plate for you.
• Tension tuning. If a door feels too tight, move the striker outward in tiny increments. If it rattles, move it inward until the click is firm.
• For heavy or tall doors, install two catches (top and bottom) to distribute load without making each latch overly tight.
• Mind screw length on thin RV panels. Substitute shorter screws if needed.

Pros

• Clean, positive close with a reassuring click
• Forgiving alignment thanks to the spring‑loaded swivel head
• Finish blends well with modern and repainted cabinetry
• Nylon rollers are smooth and quiet in use
• Complete kit with template; fast, straightforward install
• Good value in a four‑pack for a small kitchen or RV refresh
• Transparency label with an install video is a helpful bonus

Cons

• Plated steel, not stainless—watch in high‑humidity or coastal installs
• Medium‑strength springs may be light for heavily loaded, tall doors in high‑vibration settings unless you double up
• Not a silent latch; there is an audible click (pleasant to me, but not for everyone)

Final recommendation

I recommend the keenkee double‑roller catch set for most cabinet and closet applications, and especially for refreshing older or repainted kitchens and securing RV cabinetry. The combination of a forgiving, spring‑loaded head, smooth nylon rollers, and a tasteful black‑nickel finish hits the right balance of function and aesthetics. Installation is dead simple with everything included, and day‑to‑day performance is reliable with a firm, repeatable close. If you’re dealing with very heavy doors or extreme vibration, plan on using two catches or consider a higher‑tension alternative; and if you need corrosion‑proof hardware for marine settings, look to stainless. For the majority of home and travel‑trailer use, though, this kit is a dependable, tidy solution that gets out of the way and just works.
